Today's security market demands high-quality cameras that achieve more than just 'satisfactory' picture performance in tough monitoring environments. To meet this need, Sony is proud to introduce the intelligent SSC-G818. 

A ½ inch CCD, works in conjunction with the built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to deliver 540 TV lines of usable resolution, even in very poor lighting conditions. With a 12-bit colour dynamic range, the camera retains clarity even in high contrast environments, reproducing brightly coloured objects with increased depth. Dynamic Noise Reduction maximises visible detail and limits the appearance of motion blur. 

The SSC-G818 also comes equipped with an intelligent face detection function, flagging the appearance of faces in the image with the letters "FD" on the monitor. 

This is an advanced security camera you can depend on.

• Excellent Picture Quality with the 1/2 Inch Exwave HAD CCD

  Highly sensitive sensor developed for both day and night-time use. Works in very low light conditions – even as low as 0.28 lx.

• Precise Colour Reproduction

  With a 12-bit colour dynamic range the camera reproduces images more precisely than conventional cameras. Users can choose the most suitable colour saturation level, according to the type of scene, the environment and the user's preference.

• Superb 2D/3D Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR)

  DNR technology eliminates noise and motion blur to reproduce distinct and clear images. The technology utilises both an adaptive 2D filter and 3D filter according to the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) value to reduce noise.

• True Day/Night function

  Optimises sensitivity in day and night conditions. As night falls, an infra-red filter is automatically removed and the camera switches to monochrome. In this mode, the camera can acquire images in as little as 0.005 lx.

• Intelligent Face Detection

  These cameras come equipped with an intelligent face detection function. When the camera detects a face in the 'sensing area' the letters "FD" appear on the monitor.

• Advanced Backlight Compensation

  The SSC-G818 automatically compensates for difficult backlighting conditions and retrieves detail in the foreground that would otherwise be lost.

• Auto Tracing White Balance Mode (ATW-PRO)

  The ATW function automatically adjusts each camera's white balance to accommodate sudden changes in lighting conditions. The function has five modes: ATW, ATW-PRO, 5600K, 3200K and Manual. The ATW-PRO mode has the colour temperature reference, so the camera can avoid excessive white balance adjustment.

• Remote control capability

  The SSC-818 can be remotely controlled using RS-485. It supports SSPP and PelcoD commands, to directly adjust camera parameters.

• Digital zoom function

  The camera can digitally zoom x2/x4/x8 and x16
